I am wondering if anyone knows of some good, low fat/sugar recipes that include chiken breasts and brown rice? Note, I am on a cutting diet, so it needs to be healthy, low fat and low sugar if possible.

I am also wondering if anyone knows of a good low fat low sugar sauce that mixes well with chicken and rice? How about any healthy pre-made sauce packets at the supermarket?

I just need ways of eating chicken as my taste has gotten very stale for both chicken and rice. But I know they are the two best foods for a healthy cutting diet, so i must keep eating it. I just need some boosting for the taste buds

thank you guys!!!!!!

Do as crazy said and check out the sup forum for recipes.

As for sauces...any pre-made sauce will ussually have a lot of sugar or fat or both. I wouldn't trust any of them. However there are some sugar free, low fat dressings out there that i have used before and they taste pretty good. Just cut the chicken up, put it and the rice in a bowl then mix it all together with some of the dressing. Little different of a taste and I enjoyed it

Also try using some seasonings in both...mix some veggies with the rice for flavor and throw some of your favorite spices on the chicken...BBQ it up. That never gets old. You can also try boiling your chicken with a chicken broth cube or two for some added flavor.

I know, I own one...but it just dont taste the same! I wish I could BBQ daily!!YUM!

Dice the chicken up and mix with the brown rice, then add in a ton of cajun seasoning. Make sure your drinka lot of water though, as cajun seasoning has lots of sodium.

use saffron yellow rice, and use chicken broth instead of water, it is quite good

I still use white rice at this point of my cut

Chipolte Tabasco hot sauce is excellent on chik and rice, as well as mustard, soy sauce, or low sugar ketchup (sounds wierd, but it's a nice change of pace.) Also, try mixing in some veggies to break it up. I cut my rice in half (down to 1 cup cooked) and added 1/2 a bag of frozen green stuff (broccoli or green beans good, frozen spinach very good.) It makes a huge difference in the taste and texture.
